Just got fall further installed and running - seems to run fine, but saved games will not load. Any attempt to load a saved fall further game results in a hang followed by a crash to desktop.
- Fall Further mod is loaded
- Both game and saves are current (as far as I know) at version 051, patch C
I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if something didn't work quite right, as well as to get the exact wording of the error message - I remember it said something about 'failed to unpack'...
Any suggestions?
EDit; just tried again, with just the core 051 installation (before installing patch C) and got the same result.
I've got a 64 bit Vista OS, but have never had compatability issues before with Civ IV:BtS or FfH2, so I'm stumped. For completeness of testing, I'll try installing the pacth and see what happens, but I doubt that will change.
The crash appears when I try to load a saved game. I never see a loading screen; instead the game appears to freeze on the main menu screen for about 5 seconds, then crashes. There is an error message about "Failed to unpack" or something similar, but I'm too slow to read it so far...
I'm kind of bummed. I like marathon games, so the lack of save/continue options will make it unplayable if I can't figure out what my computer is doing (and it must be just me; I'd think there would be a lot more traffic on the boards here if others were seeing this...)
Any help from those of you more knowledgable about computers and FF would be appreciated...
EDIT2: Yep, adding patch C yields no change.
